Well, obviously one can make such guesses as to the meaning. I just wanted to be sure.

I would take issue with some of the questions though. Like the one with whoever/whomever. Whomever is more correct, but both are now generally acceptable.
And the speeding in your car is risky/risqué question. One could argue that either is correct, depending on the context.
An ex-g/f of mine got very turned on by driving/been driven fast (luckily I had a RX7 :D ). So it would be quite appropriate (well, maybe not appropriate, but you get the idea) for her to say 'Speeding is very risque'.

Cool. If I recall correctly, children are best at learning language in their first five years (I also read that continuing to learn languages as you get older helps keep your mind younger).
At four I thought "samantha" was spelled "samamfe"...

It was really difficult for me not to coach her, or try to correct her when she got the wrong answer, it's good to know what we need to work on though I guess.

Of course, that was probably phonetically correct given my pronunciation (and assuming that the "e" works the same as an unstressed "the)
